“Fates of our countries and people are deeply intertwined in the spheres of education, science and arts,” Lavrov said while speaking to a ceremony held at the Azerbaijan Embassy in Moscow to mark the 15 anniversary of diplomatic relations between the two countries. “It is aspiration of hearts and spirits, that is mutual, and all this can serve as a reliable basis for our political cooperation, our interaction within CIS, where ongoing processes are not easy and not unambiguous,” he said.
